Donald Trump blasts Republicans as WEAK, FOOLISH and DUMB for agreeing $1 trillion infrastructure deal with Democrats, and warns them they will face primaries if they vote in favor of the bill

Former President Trump blasted Senate Republicans on Wednesday evening as 'weak, foolish, and dumb' for agreeing an infrastructure deal with Democrats, potentially delivering a huge policy win for President Joe Biden. In an angry statement, he said it would be used against them in the 2022 midterms and warned Republicans they would face primaries if they went along with it. Plans for an infrastructure plans became a running joke in the Trump administration as the president repeatedly failed to make headway. As a result, some commentators believe the former president has been desperate to sabotage his successor's efforts.

Disgraced USA Gymnastics doctor Larry Nassar has been allowed to spend more than $10,000 on himself behind bars, while only paying $100 per year to a fund set up for his victims.
